On October 25, 2017, 33-year-old Ever Hernandez was shot while sitting in his car in the Check City parking lot in Murray. Hernandez’s vehicle then accelerated onto State Street, crossed lanes, T-boned one car and struck another; police found him deceased in his vehicle at the crash scene.

Investigators used nearby surveillance footage to follow the assailant after the shooting. Video showed the man dumping clothing at a Deseret Industries before boarding a TRAX train; a Utah Transit Authority police officer later recognized him from those images. The suspect was identified as 19-year-old Lucas Marc Deprey, described as homeless. A warrant charged him with murder, possession of a weapon by a restricted person, and obstructing justice. Charging papers noted an incoming text on the suspect’s phone that read, At what point did you shoot him?

Was anyone in the area that afternoon able to see or record the events in the Check City parking lot or on State Street?
